Discussion

• What is in release 0.6?
  • Performance improvements
  • Initial APIs and guidelines
    • We want simple rules like "arrays from collections are numpy" and "arrays from other instances are tinyarray" so that developers don't have to constantly refer to documentation
    • We want release 0.6 to implement these guidelines as much as possible, even if we need to update ctypes-based functions
  • Demonstrate that we are committing to a production release
• ChimeraX 0.6 performance
  • See New Results section from ​previous meeting
• ChimeraX 0.6 API documentation
  • No additional progress
• Review milestone priorities
